Disney's games division saw review scores and number of releases down sharply this year.

Readers contributed a few backhanded compliments for the publisher's lineup, calling it "generally shovelware, but at least it's quality-ish shovelware."

Detailed responses praised the creative freedom available when working with the company and were grateful for "the time and resources to make better games."

The publisher received lower-than-average marks on reputation and middling-to-good scores on the detailed survey, with particularly high marks for overall experience and for pay and perks.
